Poll Time

EDIT: I've added pictures of the general style for each option. Pay no attention to the individual colors or things on the walls, or bedding specifically, just look at the style of the pictures as a whole.

Okay people, its obvious I'm torn in two directions. I need your input. Leave a comment with your vote please.

Option 1-Garden/Cottage feel with more white than bright and flower bedding and rug. Think sheets pictured from Pottery Barn. A la...


Option 2-Bright Geometric (stripes, polka dots) feel with geometric bedding and rug. Think blanket with peacock. A la...




Leave a comment with your pick please, please, please.

Two more rugs

Two more rug possibilities from Anthropologie: Majestic Providence Rug and Dream Menagerie Rug. Again, this site wouldn't let me pull the pictures to put in the blog.

Here we go again...at 12:44am no less

More inspiration...

THE blanket. I want it. Way more than the super expensive one even. Although I don't think this will lay across the foot of the bed. And as much as I do love it, I don't want it cluttering up the white walls. I do want it for each color in it. I love the peacock. I love the dotted pattern. I'm thinking maybe paint above the beadboard orange and do that pattern sporadically (upper left corner-ish).


Another blanket that would work okay:
Pink and Orange Dot

Rugs that might work:
Dot with pink border
PBTeen Bubbles
PBTeen Stripe
PBTeen Big Dot
Nod Floral Rug

Comforters that might work at the end of the bed:
PBTeen Big Dot
PBTeen Dottie

Sheets that would work under a plain white duvet:
Bubble
Big Dot
These are sheets that I would love to have (I received one crib sheet from my registry) however, of course, everything but a bed skirt is no longer available.

Apparently its a bad day for sheet shopping at PBKids because the next two sheet sets I liked were also no longer available. This is another option that I think I like better than the dotted options.

Acessories:
This would be adorable.
This would be fun.
This or this would also be cute.


I finally found some pics of almost what I want to do with the shelf, like these, just higher up on the wall. I tried to past the pictures right here but the website wouldn't let me. Sorry! So here and here they are. Okay, nevermind those even, this is even better, its higher and there is more contrast between the walls and above the shelf.

Okay people, if you didn't know I'm neurotic by the household management binder then you surely do now. However, if you've travelled with me on this journey you can see that I love the damask wallpaper, the peacock blanket and the flowery sheets. Yes, this is why I have issues. I really think I do want the "cottagey, almost old fashioned in a modern way" look, but I can't seem to let go of the "modern, obnoxious geometric shapes and patterns". Thoughts..... tell me what you like, what you hate, and what would suck if it were in the same room together.

Lillian's Room

Yes, I've been a bit obsessive about this lately.

I feel I MUST HAVE this wallpaper.




And totally unlike me, I am loving this rug, even though it does not go with anything else other than the color pink.



If this quilt wasn't so retardedly expensive, I would want it for the foot of the bed, on top of a huge fluffy down comforter with a plain white duvet cover and some poppy pillows up top.



Unfortunately when you google 3/4 height shelf, you get shelves that are 3/4 inch thick or 3/4 foot long, etc. When you google beadboard or wainscotting and shelf you get small wall shelves made of wainscotting. This is as close as I could get to what I want, there is no shelf, but it is white beadboard on the bottom and a color on top. We're thinking beadboard 2/3 to 3/4 way up and then something up top with color, but not too much color to overshadow the cool stuff we plan on putting up there.




In the next week or so I hope to have all my art and frames done and I will photograph them

Design for Lillian's Room

NOTE: THE PURPLE TEXT ARE LINKS THAT YOU CAN CLICK ON.


I have been toying with the design for Lillian's new room (once we move and the guestbed is out) for a while. I want it to be fun and bright, but not obnoxious and childlike, but not baby.

I was doing some research online and came across a blog by Christine. She stated that you could email in your detailed questions with pictures and she would tell you her opinions. I did so, honestly not expecting anything, or at least in the next century. How surprised was I to get an email this morning telling me she answered my question on her blog this morning?

I think alot of her ideas are marvelous. My plan (as of now, without having any idea what type of room she will be in) is to:
Paint the walls white 3/4 of the way up
Put a shelf all the way around the room at that level (white)
Paint/wallpaper/something above the shelf in bright pink and/or orange
Place all the knick knacks on the shelf around the room
Paint the furniture (pictured above) hot pink
Yes, I said paint the furniture hot pink, isn't that just PERFECT?!?!
Get matching bedding for the twin bed and the crib as long as the crib is in her room
Get a nice bright rug, shag I'm thinking


Let me know your thoughts and ideas!!!!
